2129.0. "Seeking serger modifications" by YAZ67::BRZOZOWSKI (See it happen => Make it happen) Mon Feb 10 1997 11:33

    I'd love some intro-to-serger instructions.
    
    My first project will be a polarfleece kids bathrobe.  The pattern
    directions are all appropriate for a thin fabric and a straight stitch.
    
    How would I do things differently with a serger?  I guess I'll know
    more when I get the serger and video, but I'd live to hear your ideas.
    
    For example: where is says "apply interfacing", if I was using a thin
    material, I'd do iron-on for the shawl-style facing, then fold, press
    and stitch the facing egde.  How would I do it with polarfleece, sew-in
    interfacing and a serger?
    
    When would you use your sewing machine for such a project and when
    would you use your serger?  How would hems be done?
    
    I would appreciate anything you have to share!
    
    Thanks!
